Good manners are extremely important from childhood onwards, in schools, colleges, careers and lives. Here are some tips on how children should be taught to behave even before their schooling begins, so that their progress ahead in life is smooth and they are equipped with the winning qualities right from the beginning of their academic education.

1. Manners Children Should Know Before Their Schooling Begins

2. Manners are of prime importance at every stage of life. In fact, our
manners can open doors for us – from a school’s, to a career’s, and
throughout our lives, to hearts’.
The sooner we teach children the winning manners, the better can it be
for them – and us.
Here are some basic manners that children are expected to know by
the time they join school.

3. Not to shout.
A child is expected to know how to speak softly and not shout.
Not to run around, making a noise.
When a child is taken to a place like a school, clinic or party, s/he is
expected to keep at one safe place (with parents or responsible adults)
and not run around, making a noise.

4. Not to touch or take things that do not belong to them.
Children should know that they should not touch anything that does
not belong to them, and should not take anything that is not theirs,
either.
This would include not plucking flowers off gardens, parks, etc. and not
picking things they find attractive and taking them away with them,
without the knowledge and permission of their owners, and also the
children’s parents.

5. ‘Please’, ‘Thank You’ and ‘Sorry’
Of course, children should be taught the proper usage of the words
‘please’, ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’.
How to address people
Children should know how to address people. For people whose names
they do not know, they can use ‘Sir’ and ‘Madam’.
They should also know that a ‘Please/Sorry/Thank You Sir/Madam’ is
much better than just a ‘Please/Sorry/Thank You’.

6. Basic Table Manners
To sit properly at the table.
Not to chew the food with their mouths open.
Not to speak with their mouths full.
To eat slowly, take little portions of food and finish the food on
their plates first, before going/asking for more.
Being considerate to the needs of others at the table.
Speaking when spoken to and not interrupting conversations.

7. Not saying or doing anything that can hurt
Children should be taught how not to hurt others with rude
words and
actions. They should also be taught not to hurt animals, birds
and other
living things.
Being Polite and Attentive during Lessons
Children should be taught how to sit attentively in class (and
other gatherings) and listen to what is being taught/said.
To raise their hands and speak only when they are asked to.
To stay in the class till permitted by the teacher to leave.
To adhere to the rules of the school.
